[Event] If you want to get out alive...

Those that sleep will awaken to a pitch black room with nothing but the faint red glow of the emergency lighting. This glow seemed to frame the ceiling of the room and gradually pulsate between a dimmer glow to a glow almost bright enough to read by then back down again. Every electronic device in the entire academy, dorms, and general building on the SHIELD grounds would display a black DOS-like screen with bright crimson lettering that read a simple, cryptic message.

SYSTEM ERROR
LOCKDOWN MODE INITIALISED

NEW MESSAGE



Activating the new message brings up another black screen with a mostly legible message to the students of SHIELD Academy. This ominous message doesn't seem to be salvageable by even the most brilliant of computer programmers. The file is just corrupt and there is nothing that can be done for it. It's a wonder the thing opened at all, to be honest.

Those that didn't sleep would have found the lights had suddenly gone off around 0400. Shortly following the assumed harmless power outage, the usually white glowing strips lining the edges of every room would have faded to a red that indicated a warning. The red lettering on the screens would have followed after that and finally, a good ten minutes into the disquieting silence, the blue message alert appeared. They would have found their doors locked, and the windows all barred by solid adamantium panels.

There is no riddle to be had here, no teacher seems to be present to consult. The students were alone, required to rely on eachother, their own cunning, and their unique abilities.

For those poor souls trapped in the Hazard Room, well... just don't make any sudden movements. The training protocols seem to still be active. Fortunately, they are set on moderate difficulty. You had been looking to hone your skills and blow off a little steam. Well, you just got your wish.

Mod Notes: Treat this post like a mingle-log. OOC plotting can be found here.

Targets and Weaponry: SHIELD bots come in a variety of sizes from no more than a foot in height to nearly four feet and come armed with a plethora of weapons designed to subdue and capture. Weapons designed specifically to counter the abilities of those that live here, just in case they lose control.

Small built-in turrets keep hidden behind sleek panels in the ceilings of most hallways and in the ground outside. These turrets fire wide range of power nullifying munitions as well as good old fashioned taze rounds.

Targeting sensors on all the machines and turrets use facial recognition to identify each student. Their powers and weaknesses are recorded in the main SHIELD database, which it refers to and decides the best course of action.

Loki warily watched the feline, but Usagi's excitement and kindness was just too much for his irritability to handle. It banished his moodiness with ease, bringing back that slightly more carefree nature he'd developed in his time here on Earth.

"Sailor what now?" Loki's grin returned. "You do not strike me as the soldier type. But if you are indeed a fierce warrior, Lady Sif would be thrilled to meet you." She was always so keen on proving she could be both a female and equal to the might of Thor. Though, this little blonde didn't quite strike him as the sword slinging warrior type. "It isn't finding them that is the problem. Two of them are trapped in a room comparable to a bunker. When those doors are sealed, there's no way in or out. My plan is to infiltrate the computer room and shut down the malfunctioning defence system. A reboot, like the message said. If you're still willing to help, I must warn you, it will probably be dangerous."

the word 'danger' meant nothing to Usagi unless she was actually in it. As a concept it was synonymous with excitement which was something she greatly enjoyed. "Ok!" She cried in high pitched Engrish, and then in her native tongue added,"Let's go rescue your friends!"

Luna, still looking a bit battered at having been hoisted and then promptly dropped and forgotten, looked as if she were about to object but then restrained herself. Loki was NOT to be trusted, to be sure, but Usagi had never demonstrated such an eagerness to perform her Sailor duties and Luna was willing to take what she could get at this point. And if there really WERE students trapped it was their mission to save them.

"Let's!" He agreed and gave the cat a glance before placing a hand on the doorknob. "Stay close. I can cast a barrier of magic to protect you and the... pet, but my reaction time will be much slower if I need to run to your side, first." The feeling's mutual, Luna. Loki dislikes you and your Asgardian attitude towards him.

The Norse deity turned the knob and pushed it open a crack to check the hallway. All he could see was one drone, but he knew there were hidden turrets. "Ready?"

Demonstrating an uncharacteristic seriousness, Usagi nodded, stepping behind Loki and staying, touchably close. She was determined to make a good impression on the attractive young man. "Let's go!" she whispered in response. Ready to spring into action. Luna too, looked ready to move.
